Modernist Coastal Seascape Marsh Landscape Watercolour on Handmade Paper
Modernist Coastal Seascape Marsh Landscape Watercolour on Handmade Paper

Modernist Coastal Seascape Marsh Landscape Watercolour on Handmade Paper

Located in Cirencester, Gloucestershire

**Title:** Sierra Nevada Granada Spain Snowy Mountain Watercolour on Handmade Paper **Artist:** European School, 20th century **Medium:** Watercolour on handmade paper, unframed **Size:** 7.75 x 11.25 inches **Signature:** Unsigned **Stamped verso:** No stamp visible from the images provided **Provenance:** Private collection **Condition:** Fair to good vintage condition. The handmade paper shows age toning, surface marks, pinholes, handling wear, creasing and irregular deckled edges. There are visible nicks, tears, small losses and roughness to the outer edges and corners, consistent with age and the nature of the handmade sheet. The painted image remains atmospheric, decorative and visually appealing. **Description:** A striking 20th century European School watercolour landscape, painted on textured handmade paper and inscribed verso **Sierra Nevada Granada Spain**. The composition depicts a dramatic mountain view, with snow-covered peaks rising above layered rocky slopes and a blue lake or valley below. The scene has a bold, simplified quality, combining the atmosphere of a travel study with the decorative structure of a modernist landscape. The painting is particularly appealing for its graphic treatment of the mountain forms. The artist reduces the Sierra Nevada landscape into broad planes of muted blue, grey, brown, ochre, green and white, allowing the snow-capped ridges to stand out strongly against the darker surrounding slopes. The result is atmospheric yet design-led, with the landscape arranged almost as a series of abstract colour fields. The verso inscription identifies the subject as the Sierra Nevada near Granada in Spain, giving the piece strong topographical and search appeal. The Sierra Nevada mountain range is one of southern Spain’s most distinctive landscapes, known for its dramatic peaks, changing light and contrast between high mountain scenery and warmer Andalusian tones. This watercolour captures that sense of rugged terrain through a restrained but expressive palette. The handmade paper adds considerable character to the work. Its warm natural tone, visible fibres, pinholes and irregular deckled edges give the piece a tactile, artisanal quality, enhancing its sense as an original travel study or plein air-inspired work. The painted area sits within the sheet, leaving the surrounding handmade paper visible and giving the work a distinctive object-like presence. This original watercolour would appeal to collectors of Spanish landscapes, Sierra Nevada paintings...

A Large, Striking 1940s Modern Portrait of a Seated Young Woman in Green Blouse

By Walter Burt Adams

Located in Chicago, IL

A Striking 1940s Modern Portrait of a Young Woman by Notable Chicago Artist, Walter Burt Adams (Am. 1903-1990). A large, well executed, figurative work by the artist, depicting a young woman fashionably dressed in a green blouse anddpatterned scarf seated in profile in a muted studio interior. Titled "Portrait of Ms. Anderson, Student at Northwestern U." the painting exemplifies the artist's adept and practiced skill at portraiture, and was completed at the painting class of the artist's friend and instructor, Arnold Turtle, in Evanston, Illinois Artwork size: 30 x 23 inches, oil on canvas, accompanied with the original Modernist frame (Framed size: 33 1/2 x 26 1/2 inches). Signed "Walter Burt Adams" and dated "46" lower right. Provenance: Estate of the artist. Walter Burt Adams was a dedicated painter of the American Scene and a singular personality among his peers in the Chicago Modern Art community. His no-nonsense manner, devotion to his craft and sardonic sense of humor characterize a man whose paintings capture life in and around Chicago between the early 1920s and the late 1970s. Born in Kenosha, Wisconsin just after the turn of the last century, Walter Burt Adams spent his childhood in Fargo, North Dakota and began his artistic education there through a correspondence cartooning class as a boy. After finishing high school in Fargo, Adams moved to Chicago in 1922 in order to enroll at the school of the Art Institute of Chicago. Adams’ instruction at the school with artists such as George Oberteuffer, Frederick V. Poole, Charles Wilimovsky...

Painting is an art form that has spanned innumerable cultures, with artists using the medium to tell stories, explore and communicate ideas and express themselves. To bring abstract paintings, landscape paintings, still-life paintings and other original paintings into your home is to celebrate and share in the long tradition of this discipline.

When we look at paintings, particularly those that originated in the past, we learn about history, other cultures and countries of the world. Like every other work of art, paintings — whether they are contemporary creations or works that were made during the 19th century — can often help us clearly see and understand the world around us in a meaningful and interesting way.

Cave walls were the canvases for what were arguably the world’s first landscape paintings, which depict natural scenery through art. Portrait paintings and drawings, which, along with sculpture, were how someone’s appearance was recorded prior to the advent of photography, are at least as old as Ancient Egypt. In the Netherlands, landscapes were a major theme for painters as early as the 1500s. Later, artists in Greece, Rome and elsewhere created vast wall paintings to decorate stately homes, churches and tombs.

Today, creating a wall of art is a wonderful way to enhance your space, showcase beautiful pieces and tie an interior design together.

No matter your preference, whether you favor Post-Impressionist paintings, animal paintings, Surrealism, Pop art or another movement or specific period, arranging art on a blank wall allows you to evoke emotions in a room while also showing off your tastes and interests. A symmetrical wall arrangement may comprise a grid of four to six pieces or, for an odd number of works, a horizontal row. Asymmetrical arrangements, which may be small clusters of art or large, salon-style gallery walls, have a more collected and eclectic feel.

Download the 1stDibs app, which includes a handy “View on Wall” feature that allows you to see how a particular artwork will look on a particular wall, and read about how to arrange wall art. And if you’re searching for the perfect palette for your interior design project, what better place to turn than to the art world’s masters of color? 

On 1stDibs, you’ll find an expansive collection of paintings and other fine art for your home or office. Browse abstract paintings, portrait paintings, paintings by emerging artists and more today.

Questions About Paintings

  • 1stDibs ExpertOctober 30, 2024
    Some after paintings may be worth money. An after-painting is a copy of an original produced by a different artist. Generally, after paintings are worth less than originals. However, pieces made by pupils or assistants of the original artists may have some value. Those made by unrelated later artists are less likely to fetch high selling prices. To find out the estimated fair market value of a particular after-painting, consult a certified appraiser or experienced art dealer. Find a large collection of paintings on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertOctober 30, 2024
    No one knows for sure how much The Starry Night is worth, and it will be difficult to determine its potential value unless it becomes listed for sale or auction. One of the most valuable Vincent van Gogh paintings is Portrait of Dr Paul Gachet, which sold for $83 million in 1990, an amount that is roughly equivalent to $199.91 million today, factoring in inflation. Given the fame of The Starry Night, the painting would likely be worth even more. Today, The Starry Night is part of the collections of the Museum of Modern Art in New York City. Find a diverse assortment of paintings on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertOctober 30, 2024
    How much a Caravaggio painting is worth depends on its historical significance, size, condition and other factors. In 2013, his Saint Jerome set a record for the Italian artist's work, selling for more than $123,000. Caravaggio is best known for his dramatically lit history and religious paintings, which influenced many Baroque artists. The vast majority of the artist's pieces are in museums, such as the Prado in Madrid, Spain. If you believe you own a Caravaggio, use the services of a certified appraiser or knowledgeable art dealer to have it authenticated and evaluated. On 1stDibs, shop a diverse assortment of paintings.
  • 1stDibs ExpertJune 10, 2024
    A group of paintings is called a gallery. While the term gallery is used in the sense of place for displaying art, a gallery can also refer to a collection of paintings, sculptures or other types of art. 

    It’s worth noting that there are other types of groups of paintings that pertain to a given artist’s intention.

    Paintings that are made of more than one part are called polyptychs. Diptychs and triptychs are types of polyptychs. A painting made up of two panels is called a diptych, while a triptych refers to a work that consists of three panels. In some cases, a diptych or a triptych might comprise a single scene. Alternatively, the multiple panels might not depict a single scene at all but may be connected in some other sense.

    A series refers to a group of paintings, sculptures, prints or some other kind of art in which the individual pieces are similar and related according to medium, subject matter and/or some other characteristic.

    If you’re working on arranging wall art in your home, a good option would be to create a grouping of pieces, and a spacious wall allows you to spread them out. Smaller areas, like those between windows and doors, are the perfect places to display your more petite pieces. These can also be deployed in a cluster as a gallery wall.

    To tell if a painting is vintage, research the artist and determine when they were active. There are mobile apps that can help you identify the artist by referencing a photo of the signature on your painting. If your painting is over 20 years old but less than 100, it would generally be considered vintage. However, experts don't often use the term vintage to describe art. If you need assistance with the dating process, enlist the help of a certified appraiser or experienced art dealer. On 1stDibs, shop a diverse assortment of paintings.
  • 1stDibs ExpertSeptember 23, 2024
    To identify an artist's painting, first try using the app Smartify. It allows you to take a photo of the artist's signature, and then it automatically searches a large database to identify who made it. If this search yields no results, you can try performing a reverse image search using a photo of the signature or the entire painting. Once you know who the artist is, you can use trusted online resources to determine the name and age of the piece. Alternatively, you can have a certified appraiser or experienced art dealer evaluate your painting and identify it for you. On 1stDibs, find a wide range of paintings.

    Perhaps the most famous painting that has the moon and stars in it is The Starry Night by Vincent van Gogh.

  • 1stDibs ExpertOctober 7, 2024
    To tell the difference between a painting and a lithograph, look at the piece's surface closely. A painting will usually feature variations in texture, color and line due to the fact that the artist who produced it applied paint by hand. Because a lithograph is a print, its surface will usually be smoother with more uniform lines and colors. On 1stDibs, shop a large selection of paintings and lithographs.

Depicting flamingos drinking from a peaceful lagoon before a lush jungle, the painting is an excellent example of the primitive-style landscapes for which Henri Rousseau is known.
